jan 2nd, joins the chorus

[dadyl]

[ Right after this exchange. ]

You knew about Danny.

[ Oops, no question mark. He'd been at those poker games. ]

[unorthodoc]

Knew that he can't dance and loves pasta sauce, sure. He's also a Scorpio, he used to have a pet dog named Bubbles, and he never spells Mississippi right the first time.

[dadyl]

[ It's what he was expecting, he realizes. ]

You capable of feeling anything at all?

[unorthodoc]

I feel annoyed by the hypocrisy of this conversation.

[dadyl]

[ He's feeling just angry and betrayed enough to take the bait. ]

Hypocrisy?

[unorthodoc]

Come on, Mr End Of The World, Anything Goes. Don't tell me you're drawing a moral line at being friends with someone capable of extreme violence. Two men enter, one man leaves.

[dadyl]

Everyone I've ever loved is a killer. This is different. You know that.

It was Quentin, man.

He was just a dumb kid.

[ Was. Because there's no way in hell he's going to be the same after this. ]

[unorthodoc]

Everyone's a dumb kid to someone. Being a dumb kid doesn't make him special or more deserving of pity than anyone else. This is only different because you feel sorry for this particular dumb kid. I don't. I can't control who people fall in love with. He made a mistake. If I spent all of my time feeling sorry for everyone who makes a mistake, I'd really have to cut down on how long I spend masturbating, which would be a real bummer.

[dadyl]

Remind me never to make a mistake around you.

[ It's all the response he can muster in answer. This unmasking feels nearly as unsettling to him as Danny's as his little world grows darker every day. ]
